Safety

Is there a safety induction we must complete?
All new employees to 144 Oxford must complete the compulsory safety induction using the following link: https://app.passport360.com/ProgramView?id=725

The safety induction will be valid for 1 year after completion.

Will we still need to do Kumba’s online safety induction?
The Anglo American safety team are engaging with our team, and we will come back to you with an update. 

How safe is it to walk to 144 Oxford?
Anglo American’s safety team has collaborated with the Rosebank security team to ensure your safety. In addition, we have placed our own security guards at strategic points near the surrounding Gautrain station, taxi ranks and bus stops.

Is the surrounding area safe?
Rosebank is a cosmopolitan commercial and residential suburb to the north of central Johannesburg, South Africa. Rosebank is home to several businesses, residential areas and schools as well as a Gautrain station and two malls, Rosebank Mall and The Zone.

Whilst we make every effort to look after the safety of all our employees, we will always continue to encourage employees to be aware of their surroundings when in public places.

What are the safety guidelines when travelling in and around Rosebank?
We encourage these safety guidelines when travelling in and around any suburb in South Africa, not just Rosebank:

In the street

    • Avoid unnecessary or ostentatious displays of expensive jewellery, cameras and other valuables including laptops and cell phones
    • Do not carry large sums of money around
    • At night, steer clear of dark, isolated areas
    • It is better to explore in groups and to stick to well-lit, busy streets

Cell phone snatching

    • Don’t text or hold your phone out while walking
    • Don’t leave your phone out on the table when at a bar, cafe or restaurant
    • Avoid wearing headphones when in public – rather stay alert to your surroundings
    • If you are waiting for your e-hailing service, rather remember the number plate details and put your phone away

Public transport

    • Wherever possible, make use of e-hailing services such as Uber or Bolt rather than regular taxis or metered taxis
    • Ensure the vehicle and driver requested match the details that display in the e-hailing app
    • If possible, rather make use of company-arranged transport

Train

    • The Gautrain is a quick and efficient way to travel around Gauteng and runs between Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Sandton, Marlboro, Park Station and OR Tambo International Airport
    • The Rosebank Gautrain station is less than 300 m from the Anglo American Rosebank Office at 144 Oxford

We have heard about a few safety incidents in the 144 Oxford basement and Rosebank Mall. What is Anglo American doing about this?
We work with our RIC (Risk Intelligence Centre) and, when needed, SAPS.

What is the Risk Intelligence Centre?
The RIC is a centre of security analysts that research risks in JHB, and crime intelligence at our operations to ensure we are ahead of criminals.

What do the RIC do for Anglo American?

  • To create a secure and safe work environment for Anglo American employees, guards are deployed from the GSS Oxford Parks to the 144 Oxford building as well as between the Gautrain station.
  • Thorburn Security Solutions have been appointed as Anglo American’s security in Rosebank. They monitor movement along the walkways between the GSS Oxford Parks, 144 Oxford and the Gautrain station.
  • They offer armed response, fulfilled by TSU, should there be a serious emergency.
  • In addition, the RIC offers K9 unit support through Braveheart. This is active around the vicinity of the GSS Oxford Parks and 144 Oxford buildings.
  • Anglo American Security Services has a good working relationship with both Rosebank and Norwood SAPS.

What are the Risk Intelligence Centre’s contact details?
Risk Intelligence Centre’s 24/7 contact numbers are 011 638 0340 or 076 650 5715.
Contact the RIC at least one day prior to your journey, to assist with planning your route beforehand.

What if I need to work late at 144 Oxford?
For any after-hours security requirements, please contact the Anglo American Security Control Room on 060 726 6934 or landline 011 638 0428/29.
